Re: So What happened with Cisco?

Most people come back throwing harder after TJ.

Volquez did. Granted he had some HGH too.

Re: So What happened with Cisco?

The Correa situation will clear up eventually but he is not currently active. Do not criticize Doug on this. If he was told not to say anything, and he discloses info on a public forum, then that source is going to take issue. Then you are going to get less info in the future.

Re: So What happened with Cisco?

I personally think it's lame as well. Why say anything at all if you're not going to share?

The simple solution is saying, "I don't know if it's true, this is purely a rumor, but..."

I figured I would share that there is something more going on here than a simple injury issue (allegedly). I got my information second hand from a guy who has given me good information before, but I haven't been able to confirm it elsewhere either at this point. That is why I am not saying what exactly is going on.

Re: So What happened with Cisco?

He is currently on the "disqualified list" while serving his suspension.

Disqualified List - "A player who violates a player contract or reservation may be placed on this list. There is no minimum number of days the player must remain on the Disqualified List before the player can be reinstated to the Active List. A player on the Disqualified List does not count against a Club's Active List limits or its Reserve List limits."

Hope this helps!

So the penalty for being older than he says is taking him out of action for a year. Double whammy!

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Board Moderators may, at their discretion and judgment, delete and/or edit any messages that violate any of the following guidelines: 1. Explicit references to alleged illegal or unlawful acts. 2. Graphic sexual descriptions. 3. Racial or ethnic slurs. 4. Use of edgy language (including masked profanity). 5. Direct personal attacks, flames, fights, trolling, baiting, name-calling, general nuisance, excessive player criticism or anything along those lines. 6. Posting spam. 7. Each person may have only one user account. It is fine to be critical here - that's what this board is for. But let's not beat a subject or a player to death, please.

Thank you, and most
importantly, enjoy yourselves!
